(HERE is undeniably a arag 10 housework, where It must be oone day after day. unhastlng, unrest ing. . - - i It Is a wonder that it does noi occur to some society for the advance ment of females since we are organ- . feed on every line and for every purpose . under heaven but thlse Itfflf to Inaugurating a dress reform " house workers. The reason that it drSLga. tiiat a woman Is tired by noon and worn to . the point of nervous despair bf bofltimo. Is that her muscles are held down, ner waUt compressed, her skirts drag about her and while she is performing the hardest kind of muscular la. dressed aa she would be for a carriage 6wt do hoY demand, of youag w"L,n a gymnasium that they shair wear cor eats. hlKh-heeled shoes, long dragging Skin, and high collars But hoBewor may be made as good exercise as ' jrym work, except for the unpleasant cir and stance thai is connected with dust and dirt. , ( - If one could" be dressed suitably for housework. It oould be doM with about half the energy and in about hal f the time that It now required. The dress would necessarllv be made of wash jroods. It should have a short skirt ih, those short skirts, what a Joy they are on the beach or In the woods!and - skirt and walat should be irmly fas tened together so that stopping wlir not cause any strain.

If it were .performed In less time,' the gain to -all womankind who have It to do would be great, and their leisure would be sweet. , Any work which takes more time and energy for Its accomplishment than it la worth becomes a orag, ana ini ia the fault that women find with house work. It must be done, over and over again. But when a woman has put all of her best energies Into it. day after day and year after year, all that has been accomplished, she feels, is that the family have had a reasonably clean : and decent place In which to eat and sleep. 60 much as that should be ac complished without so large an expendi ture of force and nervous power. A housekeepers7 dress reform wonld do this very thing. It would eldthe housewife to do the same amount of work In less time, and leave her a mo- dioum or timeana energy tor in uwt things she wants to do. ig, . ; - ' i si JaOj Randolph to Jail. TN the Century Mrs. George i;orn warns I ' West relates an amusing Incident which befell her when, as Lady Ran dolph Churchill, aha was paying, per ; favor of an official, a private visit to the Interior of Kilmalnham JaiL It was ' during the Incarceration . of the Phoenlr nark murderer a whom she had the interesting experience of studying face to lace. - -just as l was gome 10 -leave, and while standing In the middle of the building, talking to the governor ; and Mr. . my friend, an electric bell rang, and a warder came running , up and whispered aomeinmg 10 ine gov- : ernor. - - - - ' .

"One moment," said the governor, hesitatingly; "would you . mind a cellT" "Of course not I re plied, and forthwith I was hurried Into a ceu a Diacg ceu, as Deing saier irom the Inspector's prying eyes. Ths door was shut on me, and I felt 1 ''not on velvet," but in velvet of the -blackest dye. After a time the velvet : became thick black wool, and I was - certain It was closing around me.

My mind wan dered from black wool to rata and I felt sure I saw little beady eyes looking at me, when the door opened Just In time to save me from screaming.

THIS is a vegetable not widely known in this country, although it is na tive along the northern borders of the United States as well as In mml Tin rt et YTtirnn vh.ru It la nnn. . . - . - ' The plant belongs to the onion family, and Its leaves are used for seasoning In soups, salads, etc., and are preferred to onions by many persons because they are mucn better and more tender. Eu ropeans use chives for seasoning scram bled eggs and similar dishes. The culture of the chives is simple. The plant will grow in any ordinary garden soil, it Is usually propagated by division of the roots, because it does not seed readily. The roots or clumps of Toots may bjt purchased at moderate firlcee. The dumps should be planted n beds about nine inches apart in rows which are two feet apart. The planting . .:"','" spring or autumn. The chives may also be planted in the border of the Vegetable garden, and : make an excellent permanent border As a border plant the clumps should be F Wanted about six Inches apart The eaves will grow , thickly and form a dense green mat After the plants are once established they require HtUe attentien, eeasional watering in dry weather helping to keen them fresh. It Is a good plan to break tip and replant the border or beds everv three or Tour years, aa the continued cutting of the leaves for table use tends to weaken tha plants. . t 1 .', " ' v - - ..

Have your medicine closet beyond the reach of small children, as fatal acci dents have occurred from children hav ing access to the medicine closet . It belongs to good housekeeping and to the complete homemaker to" have a medicine closet up to the usual demand of ordi nary circumstances. If you do not need the medicine, so much the better. When I say closet I do not mean, of course the usual large closet built In all modern bedrooms. I allude mora to a wall cabinet or shelves enclosed, and containing doors.

Sweet Grass Candle Shades. iOR the summer cottage straw candle and lamp shades will be found sat isfactory and economical. They shed charming light through the woven strands of sweet grass, of which they are made,' and they are both inexpensive and long-lived. The grass used In weav ing them Is the same seen In the Cana dian Daskets. wnich possess sucn a deli cate and delicious odor. The pieces of grass are woven round and round the shade, which is shaped either with a circular base or one in hexagonal form. From there the shade slopes gradually, and It has a narrow upstanairg- rinlsh at the top. The seams are made by weaving in a coarser grass, and at the top and bottom edge a thicker kind, and one of a darker shade of green gives a pretty and sub stantial rim. There is no striking color - in these shades, the grasses blending pale yellow and light green tones in such a way that the general effect is neither the one nor the other color. For this rea son sweet grass shades can be uaed in any dining room. Their freshness makes them particularly attractive for summer use. They are offered In several sixes, ranging from the small candla shade to the larger ones Intended to cover an electric light When soiled or dusty all they require a careful wlDlne? off with a damn cloth. tt Some International Romances.

THESE varieties of cabbage are largely used In Europe. They are marked by a peculiar, flue crumbling of all the leaves, particularly those of tha head. They are generally or better tabla quality than common cabbage, more tender, finer In texture and of more delicate flavor. The plants are better able to resist cold but do not give so large a yield of heads and the rheada are less solid and cannot be handled, so well as the more com-' mon sorts. at A Hint About Crape.

There is a de lightful showing of evening gowns for. summer wear and the notice able feature upon them la the use of spangles , and embroidery... This ? orna mentation makes the gowns particular ly effective because of the fine work and the novel and artlstie design. The gowns of a short. time ago that wero spangled all over are entirely, out of atyle for they have been copiea in too many cheap Imitations.- Combinations of several, different spanglf-a, whsu artistically put together are chnrming. Indeed, and here -Is the chance for or iginality In designing. ? , Rather than the flat spangle is chosen the pearl, silver or crystal drop and the jet drops are need on white or black The black and white net gowns are love ly when lined with the very faintest color, or mere suggestion of color rather than one that Is noticeable. These spangled and net gowns make the dainti est of summer dresses. They are light and appear to be simple, yet truly are the most expensive of evening gowns. Satin, velvet, silk or lace are used as trimmings with charming- effects, aad yet the epangles'are sufficient decora tion, especially in the combination of several different kinds. v There" cannot be too much said about the millinery of this season for the hat tha on. lmnortant finish of any toll- ietta The variety offered us is greater than ever before ana it win oe noucea that all shapes are set squarely on the bead, the bandeau, which formally tilt ed, the hat backward or sideways, hav ing entirely disappeared. The Immense Oatnsborough Is the truly Parisian hat.
